An early orthodontic assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a child's developing teeth and jaws, typically recommended around age 7. During this appointment at London Dental Specialists, our orthodontists examine your child's teeth, take necessary X-rays and digital impressions, and assess jaw growth patterns to identify potential orthodontic issues before they become more serious. This proactive approach allows for timely intervention that may reduce the need for extensive treatment later.
Children should have an orthodontic assessment by age 7 because this is when the first permanent molars and incisors have typically erupted, allowing orthodontists to identify potential problems with jaw growth, emerging teeth, and bite relationships. Early assessment at London Dental Specialists enables us to:
During an early orthodontic assessment at London Dental Specialists, our orthodontists will conduct a thorough examination that includes:
Phase 1 orthodontic treatment, also called interceptive orthodontics, is early intervention typically provided between ages 6-9 during the mixed dentition stage when children have both primary and permanent teeth. This treatment at London Dental Specialists aims to address skeletal discrepancies, create space for erupting permanent teeth, and correct harmful oral habits. Phase 1 treatment may involve removable or fixed appliances designed to guide jaw growth, expand the dental arches, or correct specific problems before they worsen, potentially reducing the complexity of later treatment.
Signs that your child might benefit from early orthodontic intervention include:
If you notice any of these signs, we recommend scheduling an assessment at London Dental Specialists.
Early orthodontic treatment at London Dental Specialists offers numerous benefits, including:
Most children who undergo early orthodontic treatment (Phase 1) will still require a second phase of treatment with braces or aligners when all permanent teeth have erupted. However, early intervention at London Dental Specialists often simplifies this second phase, making it shorter and less complex. Phase 2 treatment typically focuses on fine-tuning tooth positions and bite relationships for optimal function and aesthetics. Our orthodontists will discuss the likelihood of Phase 2 treatment during your child's assessment and throughout their care.
Early orthodontic treatment at London Dental Specialists typically lasts between 9-18 months, depending on the specific issues being addressed and your child's individual growth patterns. Following active treatment, your child may wear retainers or other maintenance appliances during the resting period between Phase 1 and Phase 2 treatment. Our orthodontists will provide a more precise timeline based on your child's unique needs during their assessment.
Early orthodontic treatment may be partially covered by the NHS if your child meets specific severity criteria. At London Dental Specialists, we also offer private treatment options with flexible payment plans. Many private dental insurance plans provide some coverage for orthodontic treatment, though benefits vary by policy. During your child's assessment, our team will discuss all financial aspects, verify any applicable insurance coverage, and help you understand the investment required for your child's orthodontic care.
